Presentation for pediatric therapists and the community: We know that regular physical activity and movement is good for everyone but accessing community-based opportunities to move is often challenging for our kids with disabilities. In this presentation we will explore the physical, social and emotional benefits that community based programs, such as dance classes, provide to children of all ages with disabilities and their families. We will examine the evidence surrounding this and view examples of unique movement opportunities available locally. Attendees will also be introduced to recreational resources, camps and other programs available throughout the year.

Free and Open to all Families! This family-friendly, youth focused event, is an opportunity to try several types of adaptive bicycle technology and devices that assist children in physical activity. We’ll provide a small, blocked-off location, adjacent to Harper’s Playground where families can gather to try out the adaptive bicycles, meet and share with other parents, and be a part of the Sunday Parkways spirit, while still having their own space to ride. Please bring a helmet (we may have a few on hand).
